# RPSC to hold RAS recruitment every year, 500-plus posts in 2027 2026-11-13T02:27:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Outlets counted: bhaskar.com The Rajasthan government plans to make RAS (Rajasthan Administrative Services) recruitment an annual exercise, with the 2027 notification to be issued before June 2027 and over 500 posts likely. The announcement comes from Dr Dheeraj Kumar Singh, joint secretary of the Rajasthan Personnel Department, after the RAS 2026 preliminary exam scheduled for December 2026. Currently, the advertisement process for RAS recruitment moves through five stages involving departments and the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC). The government is working to shorten this process to reduce the time taken. The Personnel Department will begin seeking vacancy details from departments after the December exam. About 5 lakh candidates appear for the RAS prelims each year. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The decision to annualise RAS recruitment and release the 2027 notification before June 2027 addresses a long-standing grievance of aspirants who face unpredictable exam cycles. The current five-stage advertisement process is being streamlined, which could cut delays that have historically left lakhs of candidates waiting for over a year between cycles. The Personnel Department's stated review of vacancies with departments after the December 2026 prelims suggests the 500-plus posts figure for the next round may be revised. The concrete next step is the RAS 2026 prelims on 6 December, which will trigger the finalisation of the 2027 vacancy count and the start of a quicker recruitment pipeline. ## Coverage - bhaskar.com Leads with department announcement, neutral report This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
